Yes, popular baddie MSs are indeed one of the unique traits of the Gundam models industry. Back when super robot anime was prevalent, the only figures made was the hero robots, since the baddies weren't as significant, being a monster-of-the-week one-time appearance only. But when Mobile Suit Gundam premiered into the mass media, bringing in the 'Realistic Robot' concept along its wake, it revolutionized the toy industry in Japan. With the scale clearly marked, these models can be put together with other similarly scaled military models to create realistic dioramas. This was a very attractive feature to many military model fans. The GunPla MSs demonstrated the imaginative adaptation of development and usage in different combat environments. It also further emphasized the role of MS as weapons (rather than heroes) and encouraged modelers to freely exercise their creativity, thus the realistic mecha concept of GunPla gradually shifted the models away from toys to become display items. Even the baddie robots, which rarely gets released as toys or models, are becoming merchandise, proof that the Gundam anime showcased a sense of equal footing between two opposing sides, sometimes the 'evil' Zeon side actually getting more support than the 'good' Earth Federation, something not usually seen in previous one-sided mecha anime. And this effect is clearly seen in the selection of GunPla as well.
You want to see series' where the bad guys actually make a difference? Welcome to the Universal Century timeline. Want some real iconic baddies? Let's see; Zaku II, Dom, Zugock, Acguy, Gouf, Gelgoog, Zeong, Kaempfer, Gundam Physalis, Gerbera Tetra, Psyco Gundam, Palace Athene, The O, Quebeley, Zaku III, Jagd Doga, Sazabi, Berga Giros, Vigna Ghina, Zollidea, Shokew, Contio, La la la... Come to think of it, almost every single baddie (non-Gundam and otherwise) in the UC timeline can kick arse, and actually have a unique character attributed to it, hence making them real memorable; unlike the usual non-Gundam baddies in SEED, who are more relegated to background fillers and sometimes just as cannon fodder, being usually impersonalized, thus insignificant. And that's my 2 cents.
yes i've seen most of the HGUC episodes, pretty cool, love 083 the most , weak earth pilot did the impossible, compared to newtypes or coordinators Yes, popular baddie MSs are indeed one of the unique traits of the Gundam models industry.

actually in gundam seed they tried to do the same, where seed shows the story from earth federation view and in destiny they show it from zaft view. perhaps its a bad thing about cosmic era, they wanted to potray mobile suits that is so tough to withstand beams (not without an I-field those days
) . Also whats more important is the fight battles, in UC battles are more exciting, one false move and we asked "he's dead?" , character utilizing space environments and surroundings as tactical advantage , also ,not so kiddies trash talk ( example ideology talk between amuro and char ) and best of all, protoganist mobile suits that can actually blow up 
er is Gerbera Tetra GP04? which episode that appear one?

UC series is more towards realistic world
that's why I like this series more than other series
the Gundam in UC is not like others so powerful until non other MS can fight
furthermore the Gundam design is more mechanical look
In UC series, no side is totally good or bad
it's war between the space colony & earth
not good vs. baddies
so the "good guy" will switch side sometimes
like in Gundam 0079, many people will take Earth Federation as good guys side
but in Gundam Z, Earth Federation become baddies already
To be honest, I don't like Gundam Seed Destiny at all
the first thing I dislike is because too much of MS, especially Gundam type
the anime is more like a Gundam show off more than emphasize on the story itself
Sunrise should make a stop after Gundam Seed finished
GSD is just like dragging the story & let them earn more money only
No more Gundam Seed sequel !

and they dun have any in C.E 
erm one more thing, in gundam seed, i find it too colourful for my eyes. Some say its new anime quality, i mean, you don't need to blast a rainbow coloured beam from freedom
yes, i think sunrise should concentrate finishing up the gundam evolve series instead, they did a great job on that

U can put a little water on the line and rub it off to make a fine line. Or else, u can use tissue paper/cotton bud to 'clean' the mess n make a fine line. Some oso use eraser to rub off the wriggly lines n make it straight n fine. Although, there r many more ways, juz use the 1 that u r more comfortable n produce the best effects. 
P/S: U dun 1 ur gundam to look like 80yr old Apek wif all wrinkles on its face
i think for certain parts should line it before snapping it. P/S: U dun 1 ur gundam to look like 80yr old Apek wif all wrinkles on its face
yet to try it with water, gotta try
i believe gundam eraser marker also uses water as the medium of removal
juz noticed this is the 1000th reply

Unlike the always-pristine, stainless steel-grade aimbot that are SEED Gundams. All that laser spam battles, and not a single dent acquired! Unbelievable... 
. In the UC universe, you can actually see battered, clunky and semi-functioning realisticly-damaged MSs, as seen in 08th MS Team and 0083. That what makes modeling UC MSs so much fun. All that battle damage and weathering. I don't think I've ever seen a weathered Gundam from SEED, it just won't seem right... 
. But the plastic runners? Nah, I try to get rid of those (unless it can be used as extra material for some conversion/scratchbuild work), although if I could melt them all down into molds, I could definitely get a lot of extra GunPla, LOL...
